...Virtue, morality, and religion. This is the armor, my friend, and this alone that renders us invincible. These are the tactics we should study. If we lose these, we are conquered, fallen indeed...

At the "screw'em" YearlyKos konference on skrewing the kountry and Irak.

AN ODD CLOSE. As the Military and Progressives panel came to an end, ayoung man in uniform stood up to argue that the surge was working, and cuttingdown on Iraqi casualties. The moderator largely freaked out. When other members of the panel tried to answer his question, he demanded they "stand down." He demanded the questioner give his name, the name of his commander, and the name of his unit. And then he closed the panel, no answer offered or allowed, and stalked off the stage,

Wes Clark took the mic and tried to explain what had just occurred:The argument appears to be that you're not allowed to participate in politicswhile wearing a uniform, or at least that you shouldn't, and that the questionerwas engaging in a sort of moral blackmail, not to mention a violation of therules, by doing so. Knowing fairly little about the army, I can't speak to anyof that. But it was an uncomfortable few moments, and seemed fairly contrary tothe spirit of the panel to roar down the member of the military who tried tospeak with a contrary voice.

I'm with Farinata on this one. Read Greenwald's post today to getan idea of how hard the Bushies are working on properly propagandizing this war.They know they've lost, now it's just the apportioning of blame.

"Since when is it a progressive principle to act as the "thought police"?"

"US Marine Colonel Simcock, the commander of USMC Regimental CombatTeam 6 in Iraq, is asking for 6,000 positive emails to his Marines. That's oneemail for each Marine in his RCT command.COL Simcock is concerned about the effect of the negativebarrage that those Marines are getting through the electronicmedia.via Fortress Australiathe address is: RCT-6lettersfromh@gcemnf-wiraq.usmc.milso come on--get off yer backside and let these guys know that the MSMdoesn't reflect the way most of us in the West feel about our troops.

I can only add to letting Marines know how much we support them the fact of how much we loath the MSM.

In the following timeline, we will see apparent evidence of HillaryClinton’s Senate campaign understating over $750,000 in contributions to her2000 Senate campaign, from one Peter Paul.

Evidently, Hillary’s campaign initially denied even knowing PeterPaul, and then later, admitted meeting him but never had a conversationregarding his contribution to her campaign.

Hillary Clinton will finally be under oath in the historic civil suit, Paul v Clinton in Los Angeles Superior Court. Voters are going to see the details of the greatest campaign finance fraud in history and the Clinton role in the collapse of Stan LeeMedia.

It is going to take an army armada of bloggers to break the mediablockade that has protected Hillary. It is time for TRUTH BOATINGHILLARY.

Read the rest including the complete time line. Please post it on your blogs and pass it on to friends, family and your local media.

Let me clarify a few points if I may.1. It will be shown that the $1.6 mil given in-kind by Peter Paul was all illegal and should have been returned.2. In her April 7, 2006 declaration, Hillary sworn that she could remember nothing of what she and Peter discussed at either the Spago lunch or Gershman. Peter had 5 hours of home video. Things will be shown on film that should could not have possible forgotten discussing.3. Hillary has had filed on her behalf four false FEC reports.4. With the new video evidence, we expect new complaints to the FEC and the Justice Dept....Doug from Uplanddougfromupland Homepage 08.04.07 - 2:43 am #

Right Wing Champ does the digging and I reap the benefit. For you, my minion, it should be a must read to soften the head banging urge you feel watching and reading the news. I won't lecture you again about listening to Congressional stars like Mugger Murtha and Harry "Iraq who" Reid.

Of course, you didn't listen to me about that girl you met from the pool hall. Tell me again, what did the doctor say?
